Senegal's national team played only twice in the World Cup in 2002, being eliminated in the quarter-finals for the Turkish national team and now in 2018. In this Russia World Cup, the Senegalese national team still have the chance to qualify for the eighth finals of the 2018 World Cup, since he is in the zone of qualification for the next phase of the competition. In the two games Senegalese has played so far in the World Championship of Russia, have scored more than 1.5 goals, showing that Senegal often plays very busy games.

The team debuted in the World Cup with a 2-1 defeat by Japan, but Colombia was severely handicapped by the expulsion of their defense in the first minutes of play due to hand in the ball within the area, which resulted in a penalty and goal from Japan, so he ended up playing the whole game with one player less.
